SUPPORTING A MULTI-PHASE DATA CENTER DEVELOPMENT IN INDIANA

CORE & MAIN CASE STUDY: Large-scale data center development is growing nationwide, requiring reliable infrastructure partners who can support complex, multi-phase builds. One example is a major data center development in Indiana spanning more than 800 acres, where Core & Main partnered with Gradex to provide necessary water, wastewater and storm drainage infrastructure.

Data Centers Require More Than Just IT

A data center is more than just a warehouse full of computer servers. It is a large-scale development that includes water, wastewater and storm drainage infrastructure, along with erosion control solutions.

This Indiana project is no different. At more than 800 acres, the size and scale of the project required close coordination between contractor Gradex and Core & Main.

“We needed a partner with whom we could coordinate all aspects of such a large project,” said Chad Arterburn, VP, Operations at Gradex. “Core & Main has dependable material availability, and they understand how to support construction teams in real time.”

Core & Main works closely with its data center partners to provide more than just pipe. The company focuses on responsiveness, service and proactive support, making sure materials are available when the crew needs them and avoiding jobsite disruptions.

“We’re here to offer our expertise, knowledge and support the entire way,” said Chris D., District Manager at Core & Main in Indiana. “Our goal is to help our partners achieve success in a timely, efficient manner.”
